1. Put a shallow metal pan in the freezer to chill. In a bowl, combine cider, sugar, Calvados and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
2. Pour the mixture into the chilled pan and place in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir with a fork, crushing any lumps, until the granita is firm but not frozen solid, about 3 hours. (The granita can be made 2 days in advance: freeze and transfer to a covered container. Before serving, stir to break up large crystals.)
3. To serve, scoop into chilled bowls or goblets.
Makes about 8 cups, for 8 servings.
